When Joel A’Bell was young, he was bullied a lot. It was a hard period in his life. But with the help and love of God, he was able to overcome hardship and grow into a well known Christian pastor. For the first few years he served at a church in Wollongong. Afterwards, he moved to Sydney, where he served Hillsong Church as a pastor for 20 years.

But one night, after a big conference, he realised that he was missing something. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there must be something more in life than this. So, he decided to follow his true passion. Joel always had a heart for the poor and marginalised, always wanted to make a difference in their lives. So he and his wife decided to leave Hillsong and dedicate their lives to Convoy of Hope, a faith-based non-profit organisation that helps people in need. They also started a new Church, Revitalise Church in Sydney's Sutherland Shire. 

Joel & Julia A'Bell are blessed with two children, Elijah and Harmony. Harmony is engaged to professional NRL footbal player Nat Butcher.

Indigenous Elder and pastor Darryl Lingwoodock has a rich family history. His childhood, however, wasn't easy. His father was very strict and punished him often. As a ten-year-old child, Darryl ended up in a watchhouse. By the time he left high school, he also left home and didn’t return for nearly thirty years. Living on the streets he turned to drugs. His life was turned upside down when he gave his life to Jesus. ‘A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and I felt so light, so free, so good inside.’ Darryl is now a pastor at the Hope Centre in Brisbane and is a member of the National Indigenuous Forum for the ACC. He has a heart for the Indigenous communities in Australia and sees lots of miracles happening there. ‘My wife and I go into places where non-Indigenous pastors can’t or won’t go. The ultimate goal for us is for people to meet Christ and be saved.’
